MaisonCashmere Essential Turtleneck Sweater vs Splendid Tori Cashmere Turtleneck

The MaisonCashmere Essential is the better sweater on paper: 100% cashmere throughout, 16-micron Grade A yarn, 12-gauge knit, made in Florence, and a 4.8 rating from nearly 6,000 buyers. The Splendid Tori is the easier, looser cut with drop shoulders, but its cuffs and hem blend in nylon and elastane, and it is imported. Buy the Essential for a fitted, dressier layer you keep for years; buy the Tori for a slouchy everyday fit.

• Choose the Essential Turtleneck if you want an all-cashmere, Italian-made sweater with a regular fit that works under a blazer and comes in 15 colors and sizes to 3XL.
• Choose the Tori Cashmere Turtleneck if you prefer a relaxed, drop-shoulder silhouette and a looser, cozier drape over a fitted one.
